TIGHT AT THE TOP
The final whistle has just blown in Napoli's clash with Sampdoria, and Luciano Spalletti's men earned a 2-0 win to go seven points clear on top.
They were finally defeated last week by Inter, their first loss of the season, and Milan must win tonight to jump back above Juventus and restore a five-point gap to Napoli.
Roma, meanwhile, have the chance to leapfrog Lazio into fifth with a win and go just one point off Inter - both those sides could only draw this weekend, against Empoli and Monza respectively.
This is how the top six looks - every team has played 17 games apart from Milan and Roma.
1. Napoli 44 pts
2. Juventus 37 pts
3. Milan 36 pts
4. Inter 34 pts
5. Lazio 31 pts
6. Roma 30 pts

MILAN TEAM NEWS
Pioli names an unchanged XI from the side that beat Salernitana 2-1 when Serie A returned on Wednesday.
That decision isn't entirely voluntary - Milan are missing nine players through injury and their attack is especially light, with Rebic, Ibrahimovic, Origi and Messias all out.
World Cup runner-up Giroud leads the line and the Rossoneri will be relying on him.

ROMA TEAM NEWS
Let's have a look at the teams - the visitors first up.
Mourinho has gone all guns blazing, with Abraham restored to the starting line-up. That means all of the so-called 'Fantastic Four' are in the team tonight: Abraham, Dybala, Zaniolo and Pellegrini.
There's another familiar face to English fans in there, with Smalling sitting in the middle of the back three as usual.

BUONASERA
Welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Serie A headliner - it's the defending champions AC Milan up against Jose Mourinho's top four-chasing Roma side.
Slip-ups from Inter Milan and Lazio earlier this weekend mean the three points on offer tonight would be extremely valuable to both sides.
Follow along with us as we find out who will come out on top in what promises to be a big moment in this season's title race and the battle for Champions League places.
